• OS Version: Windows 11 Home

2. "half" the time is gets stuck on "Opening Remote..."

Waiting for an excessive amount of time, greater than 5 minutes, will finally load the window.

Similar to: #213302

Started for me a couple weeks ago. (spell checker was only modification and the problem still happened when I reloaded window after uninstalling spell checker ext).

Closing and re-opening always works fine, with zero delay.

(Help menu does not have the "Report Issue" entry referenced by the bug report template while the window is loading - might want to fix that.)
